Frances... the name Quan rang a bell... you may not know that three Quan girls arrived at St Caths on 28-3-1910. They were Mary, Kathleen and Lena and I assumed they were sisters. I also found Mary playing 3rd violin in the College orchestra in the Christmas Concert of 1910.

Only Mary returned to Singleton in 1911 and she is again at College (15-2)1912 The cost per term in those days was eight pounds fifteen shillings. A discount was made for the third sister Lena.

Mary entered the Mercy Community Feb 2 1913 and was Professed in 1916. Her name in religion was Sr Margaret Mary. She died in 1963. It is interesting you named her as Margaret Mary. On the records she is only Mary. Unusual for those days to be given the same name in religion!
